Baby Loves Salsa with Jose Conde and Ola Fresca, Highline Ballroom
For months I have been hearing about the Baby Loves Music series. A friend of mine had mentioned it to me some time ago and I have been meaning to attend one of their events with my kids, but could never find the time. When looking at their calendar on their website, I found an awesome selection of genres that appeal to me personally. Such as [...]
The Big Apple Circus at Lincoln Center

In The Next Room or the vibrator play, Lyceum Theater

The LA based group, made of 18 cast members who have individually and collectively experienced much success, started as a small urban dance group which met weekly to freestyle, share, and celebrate their art. Founded by Bradley "Shooz" Rapier, The [...]
Peter and The Wolf at The New Victory Theater
This morning we got up, with a tall to do list. Tons of exciting things going on as the holidays approach. We started off with a visit to Rockefeller Center for some locomotive fun, and after a bit, my 4 year old and I made our way to one of my favorite children and family friendly theaters, the New Victory Theater. I have written about the [...]
